Harvinder’s friend hosts us in Jaipur 2019

When a friend hosts you for lunch, it's a delightful experience that goes beyond just the food on the table. Here's a detailed description:


A diety Ganesha welcomes us. 

The Hindu God Ganesha with his elephant head and human body symbolizes the Union of the Spiritual and the Physical. 



As we arrive at our friend's home in multistoried flat, we are greeted with a warm smile and a genuine sense of hospitality. The ambiance is inviting, perhaps with soft music playing in the background and the aroma of home-cooked food wafting through the air. Our friend Madhurima a former English Professor, the host, has put in considerable effort to ensure everything is just right for our visit.



The table is beautifully set, adorned with fresh and elegant organic tableware that reflects Madhurima’s personal style. There's an air of anticipation as we take our seat, eager to indulge in the culinary delights that await us.


Colorful Bati expertly done

Harvinder’s friend Madhurima, wearing a beaming smile, emerges from the kitchen, carrying dishes including our favorite Dal - Bati filled with an array of delicious homemade creations. Each dish is a labor of love, prepared with care and attention to detail. From appetizers to dessert, every bite is bursting with flavor and made with the freshest ingredients.

Throughout the meal, Madhurima ji regales us with stories and anecdotes, creating a lively atmosphere filled with laughter and camaraderie.

The conversation flows effortlessly, and we find ourself lost in the joy of good company and great food.



Feeling Exhilarating Crunch of foods aroma

As the meal draws to a close, we are left feeling not only satisfied but also deeply grateful for the kindness and generosity of Madhurima ji. It's not just about the food, but the thoughtfulness and effort that went into creating a memorable experience for us.




Leaving our friend's home, we carry with us not only the flavors of the meal but also the warmth of their hospitality. It's moments like these that remind us of the importance of friendship and the joy that comes from sharing a meal with those you hold dear.
